Dominions 3 on Facebook?
 

Is there a facebook group for Dominions? I just joined and I could only find one in Spanish. I might be taking it in college, but I'm not that good. If anyone could point the way to me I would appreciate it.

What the heck is that supposed to mean? I actually like Ulm, despite knowing I would lose horribly if I played MP, and I also like Pythium and Arco.

I was just imagining the kind of facebook quiz people would create

Re: Dominions 3 on Facebook?

The Shrapnel facebook entry seems to be working ATM. On the front page, there was a link to JK's facebook page.

Also, I just found this from the news section: Dominions IV To Be Released In Eighty Standalone Installments :D

I checked and it seems the guys in it chat in French, not Spanish.

Start one if you like. Facebook would be an ideal place for coordinating games.

I posted a picture of myself on a thread once at a gun range during Katrina. But I am too lazy to hunt for it. And it was not worth hunting for either. :)

Re: Dominions 3 on Facebook?
 

group is up. I myself don't play MP as of yet, but this could be great for coordinating games. People are welcome to post or discuss whatever they want as long as its tangentialy (sp?) related. Basically you can consider it an extension of the forums.

Bump.

I'm in as Janne Joensuu. Is there any way to put a nickname (i.e. Endoperez) up so that it shows next to or near my name?

Re: Dominions 3 on Facebook?
 

Well I posted a thread for people to let others know their dominions handle, but apparently nobody wants to post there. Honestly, noone ever posts on the group in general, kind of a disappointment.

that's because facebook is the devil

I recently tried to spice up the typical asinine wall banter (``x is so excited about the weekend''.... ``y hates mean people''... stuff like that) by providing an alternative viewpoint to a feminist friend of mine who posted on her wall that she argued vehemently against raising children with gender roles. I insisted that she was being egocentric and that for some women gender roles constitute an important part of identity, especially in the non-west were sometimes traditional gender roles are the little that some people have left of a culture now dominated by the west. therefore, arguing against gender roles as intrinsically bad is just a sort of colonization.

she retorted that I know nothing about raising children and was talking about theory that had no place in practice (while supporting herself with Judith Butler's theory, oh the irony). She told me I shouldn't talk about things I don't understand and then ``defriended'' me so I couldn't respond. How mature of her.

I think that's pretty typical of facebook. It's a place for shallow feel good networking where a person can post their banal little life details and pretend their worldview is normal and unerrantly ``good'' without being seriously challenged. That's also why its so full of christians.

It's the nature of the beast, so to speak.

Those who are naturally intellectually outgoing will use the resource to find knowledge, gain perspective, and diversify experience.

Those who are more shortsighted will seek out only those things that they already agree with, and only those people who already agree with them. They'll shun everything else, just as they do in their offline lives.

I "use" both MySpace and Facebook, for mainly only one primary purpose. It's a way to not lose track of RL friends, when RL creates obstacles to more direct contact.

But it's funny, intellectuals condemn the unintellectual for their insensible beliefs, why should they not react by condemning us for our incomprehensible logic?

Re: Dominions 3 on Facebook?
 

its a social networking site you twit, not a forum for debate. i'm sure you'll keep on spergin regardless.

Re: Dominions 3 on Facebook?
 

I sure will

Re: Dominions 3 on Facebook?
 

Omnirizon, what you did wrong has very little with what you said, but rather it was more about how you went about saying it. Specifics aside, what you essentially did was travel to someone's personal space for the express purpose of picking a fight. By posting your view, which you already know directly opposes her own views, on her wall you force a response. A forced response is more likely to be emotional rather then logical by its very nature.

May I suggest next time you display your point-of-view using notes instead. This leaves your ideas within your own personal space giving people the option to respond or to dismiss it without performing an action. Notes is also more suitable for longer explanations and you can tag specific people in order to let them know that you desire their input.

Re: Dominions 3 on Facebook?
 

facebook wall is personal space?

give me a break. facebook wall has zero impact on personal life. defining it as a `personal' space is just a sort of narcissism.

Re: Dominions 3 on Facebook?
 

Really, is that your retort? Please pardon me as I will be off-topic for the next two paragraphs.

Any form of communication can and will have an impact on life. Just because you don't take a website seriously doesn't mean that anything you say is without meaning. The medium of communication is mostly irrelevant. It doesn't matter if it was facebook, myspace, or a phone call. The fact remains that you directed an offending opinion at someone. This all assumes however that the aforementioned person is actually a friend and not some unimportant contact.

If there is a reason why what you communicated is not to be taken seriously, it is because you are actually a stranger to this girl. You clearly can't call this person up in order to correct the issue. I even wonder if you've met this person face-to-face. Facebook can be a toy or a tool depending on how you use it. It sounds like you use it as a toy to fill in your spare time. That's fine, but don't blame the toy for being a toy when it can clearly be used in a more productive capacity.

I find it interesting that you would use Facebook for the purpose of playing Dominions. Frankly, I'm don't see the point. This forum does a fine job of getting games together. I'm sure a lot of us come from different walks of life and are only joined by this one common thing. So I much prefer the anonymity that this forum offers. There also exists a great deal of a knowledge base her, which wouldn't be accessible directly from Facebook.

I also don't like the idea of mixing a guilty pleasure that I enjoy with complete strangers with something I use exclusively to facilitate real life interactions. Actually, I planned on starting a personal game with just me and my friends, and I would much rather handle the game here rather then on Facebook, even though all of them are there as well.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to visit the Shrapnel Games website in order to find me.

OT

edit:

flame-war control

yes, you are absolutely right, AreaofEffect. I will do nothing to oppose your point because it will spiral out of control.

what's wrong with organizing games on the forums?
